WATCH: Jeff Sessions Says: ‘In Nazi Germany They Were Keeping the Jews From Leaving the Country’

Attorney General Jeff Sessions went on Fox News Monday night to defend the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” border policy, which has resulted in nearly 12,000 migrant children being placed in detention centers, a policy that some have compared to Nazi concentration camps.

Sessions explained to Laura Ingraham that these claims are “exaggerations,” because “in Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country.”

In Nazi Germany, Jews were initially deported and relocated into ghettos before the Third Reich decided to enact the Final Solution, which resulted in six million Jews getting murdered in German concentration camps.

So the people being held can reunite with their families and leave? Sessions unloads another crock. I call BS!

Sessions here seems to be implying that the two situations are totally different because his ultimate goal with these migrants is to send them out of the United States, back to where they came from. And that’s his defense.

When you have to defend your policy being compared to Nazism…just sayin'

In some cases, migrant parents were told their children were being taken to bath or shower (sound familiar?) and were never reunited with their kids.

Check your history @JeffSessions_ . It started with mass deportations of jews without german status. Spawned the ineffective 1938 League of Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees coming from Germany
